After watching the movie "Taken", I really wanted to see if kidnapping in foreign countries and selling women was semi factual or just made up. Just wanting to find any documentaries about sex trade and wanted to see if anybody could recommend any?

I haven't seen this, but here is one example (it won an Emmy):

CBC: Documentaries - Sex Slaves
FRONTLINE- Sex Slaves | PBS

There is a life time movie that is called "Human Trafficking". Its not a documentary, but it is a really good view behind the reality of sex trade. You should check it out.

The NYT magazine article that the movie was based on was devastating. One of those core-shaking, traumatizing reads. Took me a long time to shake it. I'm not sure if it's available on the internet.

Oh man, the best one of them all is "Born into Brothels". I'm pretty sure it won all sorts of serious awards.
